Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Technically part of the archive where I work *is* a fridge (low temperature film vault)

Well, my fridge sure feels like an archive 🦠🧫

I guarantee they absolutely are and I am not remotely surprised.

Gotta catch 'em all!

I was sedated and remember nothing. I honestly didn't know gastroscopy without sedation was even an option!?

Japan's "Mundane Halloween" costume contest is back!

Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary.

Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest!

#MundaneHalloween

Really feel like The Hallway ought to be sinisterly capitalised here. Great potential for some 'liminal space' horror...

We had some teens do that in our street once - it was so much louder than I could possibly have imagined! (Backyard fireworks are very illegal where I live, so it was an unusual/unexpected occurrence)

🦜: "I am very BIG and very IMPORTANT and everyone should pay attention to ME"

The foot size is even more hilarious and bizarre when they're chicks - enormous feet, with a little tiny fluffy body on top.

Yeah, and there have been high profile actual deaths of college athletes due to heatstroke during training. This is known issue, and yet it keeps happening because of maniacs like the ones in the article.

Short hair? barely ever needs washing. Long hair? If you braid it/tie it back and don't touch it, it barely ever needs washing. Anything in between is a nightmare of onerous maintenance rituals 😫

When I had long hair I would wash it, braid it and leave it in the same braids for days. People would marvel at the fact that I could be bothered to braid my hair every day and I would just snigger to myself about my secret lifehack.

Your job might be 'writing', but unfortunately the cat's job is 'preventing you from writing'. It's a very serious vocation!

There are very few things anyone should be doing in that kind of heat - certainly not exercising/training! Heatstroke & dehydration are so unbelievably dangerous, and by the time you start noticing the symptoms (if you're lucky enough to recognise them) you are already in serious danger.

Colour point cats are so magical 🥹

Going through his teen emo phase

I prefer to listen to things than read them, a lot of the time, but reading things aloud is a skill and human people should be properly compensated for doing it.

She didn't lose them, she put them away in secure storage where Touching of the Beans cannot happen.

I personally have taken this form of contraceptive and even I had to think really hard to figure out what 'OCP' stood for (it's 'oral contraceptive pill' in case anyone is still in the dark).

I should probably report them, tbh, but contacting our IT department for literally anything is to invite Kafja-esque torments.

I've had emails that were unexpected and suspicious at work, but I just delete them and block the sender so I guess we'll never know 🤷🏼‍♀️

Going back over every interaction you have and analysing in detail it is... extremely unhealthy and not something we should be technologically facilitating 😬

Like, people who feel like that's something they'd like to be able to do should (I mean this kindly & sincerely) seek professional help

YouTube video by BBC Archive 1964: From Script to Screen - Making a Television Drama | Monitor | Making of... | BBC Archive

The BBC archive YouTube channel is such a gem - I wish ABC was able to do something similar with their incredible wealth of archival material. I've just been rubbing my hands in glee over this peek behind the scenes of how live-to-air TV dramas were made in the 60s. m.youtube.com/watch?v=YQOe...

Masked Lapwings are such intense birds 😂

Wow, bluesky moderation flagging this as 'adult content' is... Such a bad look 👀

All those beautiful little faces 🥺

I described walking out of my nice air conditioned office the other day as 'like opening the oven to check on a cake, except instead of closing the door again, you have to walk into the oven'
